GrillPro 40240 16-Inch Stainless Steel Tong/Turner Combination, Silver

Great idea to replace a spatula and tongs with one implement. I used this for the first time the other day when making burgers on the grill. I had some bacon to put on them, and this was perfect to turn the bacon, flip the burgers, put the bacon strips on the burgers - all of it. Very nice. Good quality construction & materials too.

These work great for a variety of foods while grilling. They are long enough to keep your hands out of the direct heat, are sturdily built, and are particularly handy for flipping foods like burgers.

Feels a Little Clumsy Compared to Regular Tongs/ Spatulas, but Works Fine.

This tong/turner combination was, for me, the ultimate revolution in creating the perfect grilled cheeseburger - with no exaggeration. I had been getting into grilling cheeseburgers more and more in the past year, seeking to come up with a fool-proof method, particularly as it applies to the TIMING of: 1) flipping over the burger one time only; 2) getting the cheese onto the grilling patty at the proper time; and 3) getting the buns onto the grill for toasting. Timing was always dicey when I was using a conventional spatula-type burger flipper (Brinkmann brand) - it was tough to get the Brinkmann flipper to do a consistent job of neatly placing the burger or bun onto the grill. So basically, as I was trying to flip all the burgers, heat was lost and time was consumed by correcting sloppy flipping jobs. It's easy to lose your patience like that, and you still end up with an inferior cheeseburger. Not good.Well, the battle against chaotic burger and bun flipping has ended, thanks to the GrillPro 40240 tong/turner combination. The main thing the GrillPro has done is enable me to have perfect precision in flipping burgers and adding/removing buns from the grill. The precision allows me to maintain temperature by keeping the grill open for a brief flash of time, while I quickly flip the burgers over without having them fall over or get placed away from their proper location (as would typically occur with the typical flipper/spatula). The precision gained from using the GrillPro product allowed for all parts of the cheeseburger-making process to occur EXACTLY when they needed to, thus allowing for the perfect melting of the cheese, as well as the perfect toasting of the buns: no more excessively melted cheese dripping from the patty or charcoal "crackers" from burnt buns - it all comes out perfectly.As far as use as tongs, they are perfect for grasping relatively thick pieces of meat, such as burgers. They don't close so tightly like regular tongs, so I would not use them for grasping small or fine items from the grill. Otherwise, these are absolutely perfect for exclusive use as burger flippers - a must for every cheeseburger lover out there to make the perfect grilled cheeseburger. Highly recommended!

I have had a set of these double spatulas for about 18 years and finally have to replace beause the hindge is gotten very loose. These are perfect. Don't buy the cheap ones. Seen some for like 8 bucks but they are cheap and flimsy. Shell out the extra cash, its worth the price.

These are long enough to reach the back of the grill. The quality is good. They look like they will last a long time. Nice wide tongs that are perfect for grabbing and flipping burgers. Good purchase.

I like that the tongs are nice and wide, but the metal is thinner than expected; metal is pliable

This is a solid performer. You can easily handle burgers and grilled sandwich's with this tool. Good grip and control produces great results.
